Comment (by ksantoshp):

 Here is the guidline http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ .

 @toscho I accept your point

 "Title attributes are useful for links withe the same anchor text and
 different targets".
 but still can we have option, through which I can add title attribute to
 <a> tag.
 I found one option in wp-includes/link-template.php on line number 1594
 and 1595 and code is as below

 {{{
 $attr = apply_filters( 'next_posts_link_attributes', '' );
                 return '<a href="' . next_posts( $max_page, false ) . "\"
 $attr>" . preg_replace('/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/i', '&#038;$1', $label) .
 '</a>';
 }}}

 This code is to show pagination link "next".  I like the idea of $attr
 with filter. And I used it as below in my theme's function.php


 {{{
 add_filter( 'next_posts_link_attributes', 'rt_next_posts_link_attributes'
 );

 function rt_next_posts_link_attributes() {
     return ' title="next"';
 }
 }}}

 With above code I inserted title attibut for "next" link.

 My suggestion is that,  can we have $attr and filter combination for those
 anchor tags, where it really needed.
